Archive for the ‘Hestia Companions Collection Nativity’ Category

Like most things, Nativity scenes are yet another product that can be tough finding “Made in America”. Below are a list of Nativity sets we have found that are made in the United States:

The Companions Collection Nativity from Hestia is made in America and can be seen by clicking here. The figures are made from bonded marble and then hand dressed in select fabrics. Hestia has also added a line of Santas that are also made in the United States. They too can bee seen at the link above.

Another Nativity scene made in America is from Vaillancourt Folk Art and can be seen by clicking here. Vaillancourt makes all their figures from calkware, cast in antique chocolate moulds and then handpainted with beautiful detail. Vaillancourt also makes a Startlight Santa each year (also made in the United States). Each Starlight Santa is produced for one year, and then retired. These Santa are highly collectible and can be seen by clicking here.

What would Mozart be doing at the birth of Christ? Turns out, artist Linda McDonald’s idea was, “Shown here in the traditional dress of the late 18th century, Mozart is contemplating the Nativity scene that will be incorporated in many ways into his music.”

Ah! Makes sense to us. Of course Mozart would have contemplated the birth of Christ – haven’t we all? And of course it must have weaved it’s way into his music at some point.

What a wonderful idea to add figures from history to a Nativity scene.
